How do I counter people like ahri or syndra

caesarmars·10/18/2016, 2:58:22 AM·3 votes·960 views

I played 4 games ad tf today. 3 times I had ahrI and 1 time syndra. Everytime they wrecked me early because I think tf has a shit early game. They would do crazy damage and be able to do repetitively with just one mana item. Even with mana item it's hard to keep them from killing me, trying to cs, and trying to harass because I had no mana even if I used the blue card. It seemed like I would walk to lane get 2 cs and die rinse and repeat. Any tips to counter or help fight. (Everytime I had no jg help at ALL)

here is some tip

I don't know why you would wanna play ad tf at mid, but if you are, then buy
Buying helps

If you are ad tf, harrassing with Q is a joke, I wouldn't even bother taking Q if I was playing one. If it was draft pick, if the enemy already picked syndra, then don't pick TF, if you already picked TF and the enemy picks Syndra, then don't go ad

Could always play Malazahar. Free banshee's veil is rather OP. But because the pros don't play him, none of the "do whatever the pros do" crowd play him either.

Balance is a huge issue at the moment. But just you wait!

In a month or so there will be a patch that breaks everything you know about league of legends.

But if you hang in there, you can spend all year complaining on the forums.

Why are people downvoting someone asking for help?

Are Syndra mains that desperate to not have their main look OP?

whenever i get a scary ap matchup like Veigar , Syndra , or Ahri , i'll play safe and farm until my first item which is usually a mana item like item 3027 or item 3165 , then i buy item 3001 but as soon as i have item 1033 i can start to trade, if you're against Ahri or Syndra , a item 3140 is helpful, you won't be able to fully build it but avoiding long periods of time being stunned will let you dodge the majority of their combos leaving them with no abilities and you with all of them. if you die more than 2 times just farm it out and wait for a gank and make sure to cc as much as possible, hope this helps!

It's kind of hard to give advise on this because you play blind pick. Basically these are hard counter lanes, the correct answer is that you don't first pick TF because he's a weak laner and you don't pick TF into Syndra or Ahri because they're counters. It's only applicable advise for draft though, there's no real way to deal with these harder counter matchups in blind.

The only advise I can give you is to try to use your ult to snowball top or bot, but you're still going to be at a huge disadvantage. That's just the nature of blind pick.

Morg is a really fun midlaner if you are having trouble against ap bursters. Qweww and just farm until you can nuke them.

On TF, your purpose is shoving from range, avoiding fights with your direct opponent and fighting in side lanes all the time where they can't follow you fast enough.

As TFs opponents, your goal is to make sure all the fights happen on the TF lane.

You don't play Twisted Fate to win your lane, you play him to win OTHER lanes, which is why some people consider him garbage in SoloQ.

AP malphite against ahri, im serious.

If you just slowly poke her with your maxed Q then ult engage combo her everytime while she is in mid air she can't do anything and will always lose the fight.
